To select a material as a laser gain medium, a four-level system is preferred because it allows generating a laser beam at four different wavelengths.

While changing the diaper of an infant with Tetralogy of Fallot, the nurse notes the infant starts to appear cyanotic and goes limp. What is the priority nursing action?

For a mode-locking laser, the gain medium ideally supports a single longitudinal mode in order to have a single wavelength output.

Population inversion of molecules in a gain medium is required for a laser system.

The upper energy level of laser emission typically needs to have a lifetime as short as possible in order to quickly emit the laser photons.

The pulse duration of a laser pulse coming out from a waveguide may be different than that of the input laser pulse.
